Smoked beers outside of Germany
In Austria, the Upper Austrian brewery Braucommune Freistadt produces smoked beer.

In Italy, Birrificio Lambrate in Milan produces "Ghisa", a smoked beer with typical Bamberg's beer features.

In Japan, Honshū brewery Moku Moku produce a smoked ale, the brewery's name being a reference to the use of smoke screens by ninja warriors. The brewery is part of a cooperative that also smokes ham and makes sausages.

Geoff Larson, founder and brewmaster of the Alaskan Brewing Company made a smoked beer, Alaskan Smoked Porter, in 1988 influenced by the rauchbiers of Bamberg. The brewery was located directly across the street from a salmon smokery in Juneau, Alaska, so he made arrangements to have them smoke his malt with alder wood. Other American breweries, such as Rogue Ales and Stone Brewing Company, also produce smoked beers.

In Brazil, Eisenbahn produces a smoked beer called Eisenbahn Rauchbier, using malts imported from Bamberg.
